Deputy PM Ekniti, who chairs the BOI, has ordered a full review of data center investment incentives and strategy. A new committee (BOI secretary-general, Natural Resources and Energy ministries, plus outside experts) will set standards for water and electricity use. Future approvals will be judged on national benefits such as R&D, local content and quality jobs, not just investment size. For a small business, this is background: no immediate change to costs, permits or rules you face, but power and water pressure from large data centers could matter for utility prices and supply over time.
